Police patrols at various locations on the island, could be seen responding to a robbery report Thursday afternoon minutes after five 0’clock.Police spokesman Inspector Ricardo Henson confirmed that the robbery suspects escaped in the bushes opposite the Atlantis Casino in Cupecoy after their bid to escape was foiled by a citizen driving a jeep.

The citizen who saw the two robbers trying to escape on a scooter, used his jeep to ram the scooter and the robbers, sending them crashing to the ground.

In the process, the two shot-guns used by the robbers along with the money from the robbery, fell to the ground as well.

The robbers took off running and managed to elude the police and the K-9 Unit in the bushes. The escape of the robbers was aided by the deminishing sunlight and the darkness that grew in the thick of the bushes.

The police did however manage to confiscate the weapons and the money from the robbery.

No one was reportedly hurt during the robbery and an investigation has been launched by the detective department of the St. Maarten police force.

The initial report from the police spokesman Inspector Ricardo Henson which was recorded during the hunt for the robbers, can now be heard via PodCast.

On Monday April 18th between 08.00 p.m. and 10.00 p.m. police and detectives were busy investigating two separate armed robberies which took place in the Cole Bay area.

All patrols on the streets were notified by the Central Police Dispatch of what had taken place.

Shortly after a police patrol in the Cole bay area reported that they spotted 2 possible suspects of a robbery which had taken place in a Chinese restaurant earlier in the evening and that the suspects were riding on scooters.

The suspects were also trying to flee from the patrol.

While the detectives were busy with their investigation at SOL gas station, they saw the suspects driving onto the premises.

One suspect managed to escape and the other was stopped and arrested by police.

During a search of this suspect, a revolver BURGO caliber .22 including bullets were found.

This weapon and ammunition were confiscated for further investigation. The suspect with initials L.F.L. B. from the French side also remains in custody for questioning.

PHILIPSBURG–Justice Minister Roland Duncan said his driver had permission to use his official car on Saturday afternoon when she struck a little boy on Soualiga Road. The boy was unharmed.

The incident raised concerns in the community about civil servants using government vehicles on the weekends and after hours.

Duncan, speaking on Radio Soualiga on Sunday, stated that the driver was officially working because she had driven him to his office and had asked permission to leave to get some food when the incident occurred. He added, “Here in St. Maarten, we love to assume all kinds of weird stuff.”

As for concerns that he has an Audi as his official car, the Justice Minister said it is “a brand new second-hand car” and was an Audi A4, not an Audi A6 that cost some US $60,000.

The car is in such “good condition” and “looks so new it’s fooling a lot of people it is a 60,000 dollar brand new car.”

Duncan further explained that the five Hyundai Veracruzs used by the former commissioners where passed on to five ministers and the car of the former Lt. Governor is used by the Prime Minister. That left the Ministry of Justice without an official vehicle.

For some five months, Duncan said he used a black Ford 500 that was formerly used by Police Chief Derrick Holiday. The Ford 500 was recalled by the Ford Motor Company some years ago because of issues with the brake system.

The Minister said he searched for “a representable car” and found the 2008 Audi A4 that had some 12,000 miles on it. He picked an Audi because it is the “foremost car” used governments. Ministers in Europe usually use an Audi A5 and senior civil servants such as department heads have Audi A4.

The Audi cost less than a new Veracruz and was bought taking into account government’s financial position, Duncan said.

As for civil servants using government vehicles after hours and on weekends, Duncan said it’s “an age-old problem” across the world. He used the example of a fireman who is on call using his government vehicle to go to the supermarket to illustrate that it’s not simple to define when a vehicle is used for work or personal reasons.

Finance Minister Hiro Shigemoto had stated in the past that he was working on a solution to have government vehicles as much as possible parked after working hours as this would reduce wear and tear on the vehicles and maintenance cost.

maria buncamper versus louiose laveist. is it colour or class????

some are now rejoicing with the fall of comm. luise lavesit.from all indications i dont think maria buncamper is crying.after all it is said that she is friends with the prosecutor(s), with whom she had talks with over dinner about the “man of action”.the question in the public’s mind and mouth is why louise and not maria buncamper molanus
prosecutor as a citizen i see wrong as wrong and right as right.This no matter colour, race or religion.Maria is involved in a blatant conflict of intrest and still refuses to risign.Look at chicago politicians…..The motive is clear. This stands to benefit herself, her husband and her friends.There are so many rumours about this commissioner.The public needs clarification on the multiple buslicenses operating fore her.The almost 5000 square meter land parcel she took from the trucker mardenboro.i can imagine moses still wants his land back.The block company pays good land rent for this parcel.wat about the involvement in the security company. Many of this company vehicles have up to recently been parked in her yard in saunders.the trustcompanies activities. some questionable at the least. We should be happy the justice system is looking into the activities of these companies. watch out maria, its only a matter of time.Commisioiner buncamper tell us about the 1000 square meters close to the new goverment building. And dont forget wwhile the buncampers own half of point blanche, you still got a chunk of govermnent land for yourself in pointblanch.
Commiussioner what is hard to understand is the limitles greed. you still want a piece down on the ponfill.
please leave some for we the people, and stop blackmailing the goverment for more and more.
maria you cant sit there pretending all kind of nice things and not explaine us about all this. is it not true. do you want the documents? with your friends in high places you did a nice one on louise laveist. poor louis…
laveist should not be out here alone. you are also guilty of defrauding the publics trust. or not? you talk alot . Everyday “”smiling”” in the papers. time will tell.Laveist you too should have been more careful./
if you think the public aint seeing strait trough you maria. keep smiling.
elections coming again, and the public will give you a message. so keep putting land in you and your families name.
By the way maria, you will never be a Sarah, nor a Theo. next time i will tell you why???.
mr prosecutor, all what was mentioned here is based on facts, and the abuse of political power.
do look into this conflict of intrest and more to come.
i like justice for all.

While Minister of Justice, Roland Duncan reclines in his plush air-conditioned office, members of the crime task force, and police are on the street, battling the ever increasing gun violence.

Now there are reports that the crime task force wants Roland Duncan to withdraw his new gun policy, which he plans to enact unilaterally in two weeks if parliament doesn’t respond. Workers at the harbor have reported that a container, holding a new shipment of weapons from our police dept. have been stolen. Whether the police dept. confirms, denies or ignore these blogs, is up to them.

One drive by shooting yesterday in Dutch Quarter, the victim shot twice. The car used in the drive by was later burned at Oyster Pond.

On Tuesday there was an armed robbery at the Colebay gas station, and a man was reported walking around with a machine gun.

Did it come from one of these shipments? There was also a report of a gun battle in the same area 30 minutes later, and on Saturday the island reported its 5th murder, most by gun violence

Like this:

According to workers at the harbour. A shipment of guns, ammunition and bullet proof vests,
were stolen from a container at the harbour.
The shipment was meant for the St Maarten police dept.
This means, that the criminals now have better guns, ammunition and gear than
the St Maarten police.
There’s been an increase in gun violence. AND NOBODY’ FEELS THAT LOCALS SHOULD
BE MADE AWARE THAT HUNDREDS OF BRAND NEW WEAPONS, ARE ON ST MAARTEN STREETS.
MUCH MORE TO COME
